Overview
Natural History
Complications
Ovarian Fibroma
- Adnexal / ovarian torsion[1]
Ossifying- Fibroma
- Pathological fracture(s)
- Limb bowing
Prognosis
Oral Fibromas
Oral fibromas are benign tumors. Recurrence of oral fibromas is possible, however, if the offending irritant persists.
Ovarian Fibromas
Ovarian fibromas are almost always benign.
Ossifying Fibroma
Ossifying fibromas tend to regress over time. For locally aggressive lesions, surgical resection is often curative although recurrence has been reported.
Pleural Fibroma
The majority of pleural fibromas tend to be benign and slow growing. Malignant tumours are extremely uncommon but have been reported. In approximately 15 % of cases recurrence of the tumor can occur.
Chondromyxoid-Fibroma
Chondromyxoid-fibroma are benign lesions and malignant degeneration is rare. Chondromyxoid-fibromas have a high recurrence rate of approximately 25%.
Cemento-ossifying Fibroma
Recurrence following complete excision of cemento-ossifying fibroma is generally considered to be uncommon. However, in some series, it has been reported to be approximately 16%.
Desmoplastic Fibroma
Desmoplastic fibromas are benign and locally aggressive tumors. Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign intraosseous tumor neoplasm. It is usually a localized lesion with propensity for cortical bone perforation and recurrence. They are considered to be a bony counterpart of soft tissue desmoid tumours and are histologically identical. [2]
Sclerotic Fibroma
Sclerotic fibroma is an uncommon benign fibrous neoplasm and may be solitary or multifocal.
Uterine Fibromas
About 1 out of 1000 lesions are or become malignant, typically as a leiomyosarcoma on histology. A sign that a lesion may be malignant is growth after menopause. There are a number of rare conditions in which fibroids metastasize. They still grow in a benign fashion, but can be dangerous depending on their location.
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma
Recurrence is rare
Giant cell fibroma
Giant cell fibroma is a benign non-neoplastic lesion. Recurrence is rare.
